Chapter 163 Celia's Talent Unlocked
Then, he turned his gaze to Celia, who was standing to the side.
After absorbing Soul Crystals for the past few days, Celia's aura has undergone a significant change.
The somber feeling that had been present due to the injury had largely dissipated, replaced by a restrained and profound majesty.
"Brother Tian, I feel... I'm almost better."
Celia felt Lin Tian's gaze, raised her delicate face, and her purple eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.
Lin Tian nodded and handed her the last few soul crystals:
"Let's break through the seal completely today."
Celia nodded emphatically, took the Soul Crystal Coin, and began absorbing it without hesitation.
A vast and pure soul energy surged into her body, washing away the last barrier of the seal.
Om-!
A powerful wave of shadow emanated from Celia, her silver hair moving without wind, and ancient runes seemed to be flowing and reorganizing deep within her purple eyes.
The exquisite dress she wore seemed to have become even more profound, with subtle shadow energy writhing like living things at its edges.
A moment later, all the strange phenomena suddenly subsided.
Celia slowly opened her eyes, and her entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change.
Before, she was like a wounded and fallen noblewoman, beautiful but fragile.
Now, standing there, she resembles a true queen of the night—graceful, mysterious, and powerful.
[Ding! Your pet Celia Moriarty's talent seal has been completely removed! Her rank has been restored to SSS!]
"Brother Tian!" Celia felt the long-lost, surging power within her, and a bright smile bloomed on her face. She quickly walked to Lin Tian's side, her purple eyes sparkling.
"My power...is back!"
"Great!" Lin Tian was also happy for her and immediately checked her new attribute panel.
Celia Moriarty
Rank: SSS
Race: Shadow Succubus
At this moment, Celia truly revealed her terrifying potential as an Abyss Shadow Noble and an SSS-rank being.
No longer just a beautiful vase that needs protection, but has become a top-tier combatant with powerful control, burst damage, and unpredictable support abilities!
"Congratulations, Celia," Lin Tian said sincerely.
"It's all thanks to you, Brother Tian."
Celia smiled sweetly, then her eyes sharpened.
"Kael'thas's minions will only grow more numerous and stronger. Brother Tian, let me face them with you from now on."
Just then, Little White also let out a low dragon roar, seemingly unwilling to be outdone.
On its massive body, the snow-white scales seemed to gleam even more lustrous, and the single horn on its forehead appeared to have grown larger, radiating a dragon's might with a hint of ancient chill.
As it leveled up to 25, it seemed to awaken some new abilities, and its control over the power of frost became more refined.
Looking at Celia, whose strength had greatly increased, and Xiaobai, who was growing rapidly, Lin Tian felt a surge of pride.
......
Lin Tian then looked at the control panel.
"I still have over 30,000 upgrade points left, which seems like a lot, but when it comes to actually spending them, I'm still short of funds."
Lin Tian pondered to himself, his gaze falling on several items that urgently needed improvement—
Two [Advanced Soul Crystals], one [Shadow Weaver's Robe], and one pair of [Ghost Walk Boots].
He quickly calculated the cost in his mind:
[Advanced Soul Crystal] Upgrading from A-rank to SS-rank requires 11000 points per crystal. Two crystals would cost 22000 points.
The Shadow Weaver's Robe requires 11000 points to upgrade from Rank A to Rank SS.
Upgrading the [Ghostly Boots] from A-rank to SS-rank also requires 11000 points.
A total of 44,000 upgrade points are needed!
He currently has only 36,520 points, which is nearly 8,000 points short.
"It's definitely not enough." Lin Tian shook his head helplessly.
He stood up and said to Celia, whose aura had drastically changed, and the lazy, sprawling Little White beside him:
"Get ready, we're going to a new place. We've practically plundered all the low-level maps around here."
Celia smiled sweetly, a hint of eagerness flashing in her purple eyes:
"Perfect timing, I also want to try out the power of full recovery."
Dark energy swirled around her like ripples on water, clearly indicating that she was impatient.
Little White also let out a low dragon roar in response.
Lin Tian didn't delay any longer. He summoned the Blazing White Tiger, took Celia, and gestured for Little White to follow.
Head towards the higher-level area marked on the map – [Dragonbone Wasteland].
Stepping into the wasteland, one is greeted by a gray sky, cracked earth, and giant skeletons scattered everywhere.
The air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur mixed with decay.
Soon, a group of wandering [Dragonbone Aberrations] spotted these uninvited guests, let out hoarse roars, and charged over, dragging their twisted bone limbs.
These aberrations are level 35, have over 50,000 health, and extremely high physical defense.
It also has the skills [Bone Spikes] (damage reflection) and [Death Coil] (slowing effect).
Lin Tian didn't even bother to dismount, simply hovering above the tiger's back and lightly raising his staff.
【Universal Guidance】! -- Medium mana cost!
hum!
A terrifying gravitational vortex instantly erupted at the center of the monster horde, pulling more than a dozen [Dragonbone Aberrations] involuntarily towards the center, as if gripped by an invisible giant hand.
The hard bones creaked under the immense force of gravity, and blood gushed out like a flood!
A series of terrifying damage numbers popped up in quick succession!
With a single strike, more than a dozen level 35 elite monsters were reduced to shattered bones and experience points!
Amazing efficiency!!
Celia was not to be outdone. With a flick of her hand, she unleashed the newly unsealed Shadow Storm!
A vast expanse of dense shadow energy, like ink, spilled out, enveloping the [Rotten Winged Griffin] that was surging in from the other side.
Shadow lightning raged in the storm, and the continuous high damage caused these flying monsters to fall like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Xiao Bai was even more direct; it opened its mouth and unleashed a highly condensed [Extreme Cold Dragon Breath].
Wherever it passed, whether it was the ground or monsters, it was instantly covered with a thick layer of ice, which then shattered into ice crystals in the biting cold.
Lin Tian's main body and clone transformed into mobile artillery turrets.
[Starstorm], [Arcane Explosion], [Star Ray]...
Various wide-range, high-damage skills were used in rotation, clearing away the monsters on the wasteland like mowing grass.
With such efficient clearing, the once daunting Dragonbone Wasteland has now become Lin Tian's personal ATM.
The boost points started jumping rapidly again.
